I consider myself an independent, I have some mistrust issues with both parties but more so with the Republican party. I do believe in smaller government, but I also believe in some cases that there should be some intervention when it is in the best interest of our citizens. I am a political junkie and taking this class to further understand how our government works. I hope to further understand why I feel the way I do about our political system. Some of my political influences are John F Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Dr Ron Paul. Although I have not had the time to volunteer for any campaign, I have frequently contributed to certain candidates.
On certain issues I have also, emailed, called and mailed our local, state and federal government to express my opinions.
